[Aynia]

After some time, the chamberlain entered the room. Much less gruff than his counterpart but every bit as self assured, he approached the men and gave a bow. "If I may inquire good sirs, have you any documentation as to your persons? Surely you must understand that not just anyone may secure a private meeting with the Queen herself. I shall not bother her without first receiving some kind of documentation as to your identity..."

A knock sounded on the door, and the chamberlain went to open it. A guard stood on the other side and spoke in hushed tones. The chamberlain turned around and clapped his hands as he looked at their guests. "It seems the Queen has already gotten word of you. If you will follow me."

They were led through hallways and up stairs until they got to a map room. The room had half burned candles and a half full glass still set on the table. It looked as though it had been used as a meeting room at least very recently. Two Queen's guards were stationed on either side of the door and as they entered, they saw the Queen stand from next to the table. She greeted them with a customary bow and a smile on her face.

"You've caused quite the commotion in my city, I hear. Come and sit and tell me about your journey."
